Hi Illuminate !
Nice to see you here.. and you Linda ! And eraser, thanks for your input.
I would say , in the interests of the tenets of creative brainstorming, let this not be a thread about
consensus or
rules. Just put down what you would like to see. What is your vision? Put your ideas down and those who agree will gravitate to you. There is no right or wrong way.
This is about putting energy into creative imagination. We cannot create a
real community this way, but it can help to spawn real communities.
If there is a difference of opinion, this thread will go nowhere. So, just write your truth from your heart. This community is whatever you want it to be, while you are posting.
If you think it should have the capacity to grow its own food, then yes, put that down here. If you think laws based on a constitution, then great. but equally, if you think it will behave differently then write that...
This is about generating ideas, not facts.
A community designed by forum commitee might end up consisting of a kettle, a cat, a dog, and a packet of Jacobs Crackers.
My community (before a single nail was hammered) would start by meeting people who, though different, have a desire to try something different than what is their current life experience, who would like to try and experience considering a group as a their unity, as well as the self, who would protect and love and help a member of that community in a way they look out for themselves. Who consider that nourishment is spiritual fulfilment as well as material, without forgetting the material.
Crikey, it's sounding like the freemasons already
